Systems, methods and computer program products for chaining Java servlets across networks

摘要

Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for using fully qualified universal resource locators (URLs) to chain together servlets across multiple remotely located Java® Virtual Machines (JVMs) in a network in order to implement application partitioning across the network. Each servlet in a chain is configured to perform a respective processing task using a response from a preceding servlet in the chain. A fully qualified URL includes an identification of a host computer, an identification of a filter within the host computer, and an identification of a servlet residing within the host computer.
